Psalms 122:1-7 ▼

1 A Song of the Ascents. Of David. I was glad at the saying to me, “Let us go to the house of YHWH.”

2 Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem is built up as a city joined to itself together;

4 there the tribes go up, the tribes of YAH, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of YHWH.

5 For there sit the thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Ask for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper, those loving you!

7 May there be peace within your wall, prosperity within your citadels!”
